Have I Told You Lately?
Yes, I'm often inclined to look for prayer sources apart from the traditional.
While I realize (gulp!) that
not everyone shares my passion for Rod Stewart .... when I heard his
rendition of Van Morrison's ballad, I was struck -- this isn't a love
song to a woman; the writer is expressing his love for God!
Have I told you lately that I love you;
Have I told you there's no one above you;
You fill my heart with gladness,
Take away my sadness,
Ease my troubles, that's what you do!
Oh, the morning sun in all its glory
Greets the day with hope and comfort too.
And you fill my life with laughter,
You can make it better
Ease my troubles that's what you do.
There's a love that's divine
and it's yours and it's mine -- like the sun.
And at the end of the day, we should give thanks and pray........
and it's yours and it's mine -- like the sun.
And at the end of the day, we should give thanks and pray........
What a wonderful prayer. Thank you Myra for this; I never noticed it.
ReplyDeleteGod bless you.
I did not know this! Wow. I like Rod Stewart as well. I used to enjoy his concerts.
ReplyDeleteYes, give thanks and pray. Thank you, Myra.
Thank you, Victor! I continue to promote the Christian Lounge; is there, perhaps, a specific graphic (containing a link) that I might copy for my blog's margin?
ReplyDeleteThank you Mevely. I will ask my "techie" about the graphic and come back with some information.
DeleteGod bless you always.
Myra, thank you for sharing this song's lyrics. My husband and I dubbed this as "our song" when we first married, over 3 years ago, and it is still special. But I had not thought of it as a song to the Lord. I love that thought! You are so right!!!
ReplyDeleteIt is a beautiful song and prayer.
ReplyDelete""Have I Told You Lately" is a song written and recorded by Northern Irish singer and songwriter Van Morrison for his nineteenth studio album, Avalon Sunset (1989). It is a romantic ballad that is often played at weddings, although it was originally written as a prayer."

Thank you Momentos. I agree. Myra chose this song as a prayer. As Jan also said (above) it was originally written as a prayer. I did not know that.
God bless you.
